    hello!

    tried to log on yesterday - foruum went down - have flashed through - Piggers your DD1 is going to break some hearts in the not-too-distant...and she looks so serene...

    bathroom all tiled - floor half done. needs grouting but we're almost there. And after the great tile debacle I have some to return - about 10 boxes at about a tenner each, so that's good. Jynx snipped tomorrow all being well and no snow vibes please - not after the amount I have laid out for Peter kay tickets...

    Have flapped in bathroom and vacuumed various bits of detritis and rubble form UNDER the bath - before my panel gets put on.

    Glad it went well Boddy - and that you and the family did her proud.
    Serena - hugs

    Oooh my LR looks so much better, I also topped up fire fuel (with help), changed litter tray and emptied bins (with help) and I have transfered all my messy assignment notes onto the lappy tonight. Totally re-written it as I went as is normal for me and am now about 100 words over my limit and still have to do referencing so some tweaking will need to be done but it can wait till tomorrow.

    Going to see nursey tomorrow as my wound in my belly button is a bit icky looking, hurts and I am getting pains where my gallbladder was. Won't do me any harm to get all the other entry wounds checked either plus ask about what to put on them as I have sore bits from a reaction to the dressings. :(

    I got a nice pink nail polish in the post today along with some lippys from a post on the small spend freebie board so gave mum the polish as I don't wear pink as a little thanks and she was most happy :D

    Now I am going to get a coffee, give the fire a poke and sit down with some crochet in front of the telly :)

    Love, warming hugs and spoons

    Just taken DD2 to docs as she has an abcess in her mouth and cheeks, she now has antibiotics.

    And I smell snow....big time.:snow_laug
    Hugs for DD I had the same thing a few weeks ago, it was so sore and I felt so grim and miserable. Is she rinsing with warm salt water, it does help.

    Your sense of smell is good!

    I slid on the LR floor this afternoon and crashed into the ironing board, sending the (luckily cold) iron falling on my foot :( Have spent all afternoon with my poor foot up and DD asking me if it's better yet every few seconds :rotfl:

    Ouch, hope you are ok.


    Bathroom done
    kitchen floor mopped
    shower room done bar the shower screen.

    Tomorrow:
    glass/windows downstairs
    dusting/wiping upstairs

    All the rest of my online orders have been dispatched for now so hopefully they will start rolling in tomorrow.

    Off to watch apprentice in a minute and then I just need to clean the kitchen sink and put the wm on.

    Boddy hugs for you and hope you are ok x

    <<sigh>> Just drained the chicken stock into the sink and down the drain instead of into a bowl in the sink....... not the first time it's happened either. Doh!


    Oh, you silly sausage Sockdrawer,

    I did that last year, now OH won't let me pour stock anywhere. Mind you when he does it he has been known to miss the bowl aswell.
